Description

On Thursday, December 6th we're partnering with Food Before Love to host Roots and Vines, a free panel event focused on how dishes of the African diaspora in places like the United States and Puerto Rico are rooted in longstanding food traditions from Africa. Distance and time have given us an ever-evolving food system, and this discussion will explore several examples -- such as Puerto Rico's mofongo and how that food is connected to and ultimately derived from Africa's fufu.

Roots and Vines is a community-focused series of talks that educates current and future wine lovers on a variety of topics, in an environment they feel most comfortable. This panel on foods of the diaspora will be led by an all female cast comprised of chefs, food writers and sommeliers.

Join us at 6:30pm for complimentary bites from Essex Street Market vendors and some wine. Our panel discussion will run from 7pm-8pm at 120 Essex Street.
